Hello!
My name is Celine-Joy (Celine), a Hong Kong-born Filipina who grew up in New England. I am an interdisciplinary creative and designer passionate about bridging the gap between science and broader audiences through visual design, digital media, illustration, and storytelling. With a Bachelor’s in Biology from Suffolk University and experience as a scientist from the Broad Institute of MIT & Harvard, I draw inspiration from my 6-year academic and professional background in the life sciences and healthcare. In 2024, I earned my Master’s in Knowledge Visualization from Zürich University of the Arts, where my research focused on enhancing patient communication through digital media, design, and scientific illustration.
As a science communicator, my goal is to promote science literacy, inspire curiosity, and advance scientific research and its applications. I currently work on projects at the intersection of science, technology, art, and design as a freelancer, in-house designer, and volunteer. Utilizing various methods to communicate science-related topics in education and marketing.
Outside STEM, I enjoy the aesthetics of art, creating visuals and artworks that explore themes of nature, humanity, and the world around us.
